Over the course of eight-plus years and 400 episodes (really more, but we only count certain ones), War Rocket Ajax has tried out a lot of segments and served as the breeding ground for a lot of other podcasts. So we asked our co-hosts from some of the other podcasts we do now–Ally Stock of Xena Warrior Business, Matt Fisher of Smark of the Beast, Benito Cereno of Apocrypals, Marlene Thompson of Ghost of a Chance and Jordan D. White of Sailor Business–to hop on our rented zeppelin and celebrate the occasion with us. In the process, we revive some old WRA segments and try some new stuff!

We’re beyond pleased to welcome cartoonist Gene Luen Yang to the show this week to talk about his work on New Super-Man, Superman Smashes the Klan, his early graphic novels and much more! Get ready for a shocking amount of basketball talk. Plus, we finish up a Panel President list of Doom Patrol characters!

We’re wading back into the world of tabletop gaming this week as we talk to game designer Alex Roberts about her new game, Star Crossed! We talk about mechanics versus story, how that might be a false binary, LARPing, which comics characters might make the best star-crossed lovers, building relationships in games, how horror and romance are similar, and so much more! Plus, Matt and Chris take a space adventuring listener question!

Wrestlemania’s just around the corner, and we’re running down the entire card with Elle Collins and Megan Nielsen of The Hard Times Podcast! Yes, all 14(!) matches on the show. We’re making predictions, fantasy booking, wondering what will close the show and much more!
